Kucinich calls for end to war, blasts Bush
Kucinich calls for end to war, blasts Bush

MANCHESTER – Democratic presidential candidate Dennis Kucinich said Wednesday the vow from his party's leadership in Congress to stand up to President Bush on ending the war in Iraq amounts to a "total fraud."

The Ohio congressman said the most recent House-passed plan to set a timetable for ending the war still would permit permanent bases in Iraq and allow Americans soldiers to train Iraqi military and police and to fight off insurgents.

"This is a fraud, a total fraud, and it breaks the promise the Democrats made to the voters that we would get out of Iraq," Kucinich said of his own party's congressional leadership during an interview Wednesday.

"They want to be on all sides of the issue. Instead of getting out of Iraq, we are getting in deeper," Kucinich said.

State Rep. Betty Hall, D-Brookline, said she decided to endorse Kucinich after watching him unsuccessfully pursue impeachment charges against Vice President Dick Cheney.

"I was inspired by his boldness and tence," Hall said at a news conference in Manchester.

Last month, the Democratically controlled U.S. House ducked an up or down vote on the matter and instead shipped Kucinich's charges against Cheney to committee for review.

7. I can't understand why this true Democrat doesn't get the support he deserves
If Kucinich doesn't get the support he deserves, then all Democratic voters are the ones to suffer. This guy should be at the top of the pack, not the bottom, but I guess that's what happens when you're only interested in being a straight shooter like he is.

8. The sheeple will never acknowledge it but...they are sheeple!
The media has a control on what people think, even the ones that educate themselves on politics. If Kucinich were on tv as much as Clinton, he would win in a landslide victory but thats not good for the elites overall plan, we the people don't matter anymore and all of those who ignore whats going on and refuse to see the reality of the political game are just as much to blame. The sad thing is, those who aren't a part of the corrupt system but still ignore the facts have nothing at all to gain by voting for the medias hand picked candidate.
